‘Sana-mania’ grips Japan as ultra-conservative Takaichi expected to secure election landslide

Reply in thread

She's absolutely not what Japan needed. Conservatives are less unhinged than their US counterparts but they wont do what's needed for Japan to survive. Their aging population voted for this as they get unreasonably spooked by immigration when their country needed it the most (Japan's immigration is already very low). They'll gradually fall into corruption and irrelevance in the next few decades if they don't wake up or worse if there's a war.

Trump Admin to Spend $40B to Turn Warehouses Into Massive Immigration Jails

News outlets should start using proper definitions, it's a concentration camp :

concentration camp

noun

1. a place in which large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labour or to await mass execution. The term is most strongly associated with the several hundred camps established by the Nazis in Germany and occupied Europe 1933–45, among the most infamous being Dachau, Belsen, and Auschwitz

Yes, it's backed by Redhat/IBM but it's a community project. If things goes sideways it'll be forked and continued as if nothing happened. Using any Linux distribution, you're using tonnes of US software. They are still absolutely free and open, this is not comparable to Android that proprietary parts and locked in hardware.
